Max Hillebrand (nprofile…gcaj) I was talking about privacy with a friend the other day, he brought up a real issue which is cyber bullying and similar issues that have real consequences.
Actually, another thing that comes to mind is the recent 4 episode show on Netflix called Adolescence. In that show, they point to discreet cultures online that affect children's behaviors. I'd say that show is a bit extreme, but it does show how parents, teachers, society can be blind to both bullying and manipulation, and maybe you can't prevent it, but how do you even bring anyone to justice in such cases?
I guess my question is... Can't privacy be used as a weapon too? And if so, how can we defend against that?
Here's another example of anonymity being used as a weapon (somewhat funny, somewhat scary):
